You Can Never Achieve Anything In A

You Can Never Achieve Anything In A House Unless You Have Things That Have Been Passed Down And You Find A Place For Them For Yourself.

Rooms Should Be Timeless.

Home, The Idea Of Home, Is My Principal Purpose. If People Have Bought A House As An Investment Or Chosen The Furniture Because They'll Be Able To Sell It For More, You Can Tell In Two Minutes. You Know, Our Parents Didn't Buy A House As An Investment. They Bought It As A Place To Bring You Up, To Give You Roots.

It Has Not Been An Easy Cross To Bear. It Has Caused Considerable Confusion. My Husband Constantly Complained About The Awkwardness Of Being Married To A Woman Whom He Called Sister.

It Is Only My Eye That Has Helped Me. I Am Still Hopeless With That Thing Called A Scale Ruler. I Love Color, But That Comes Very Naturally To Me. From The Beginning, I Never Followed Trends. If I Was Aware Of Them, I Didn't Care, For I Believed As I Do Now, That Rooms Should Be Timeless And Very Personal. I Don't Set Out To Achieve A Particular Style. And I Certainly Don't Have A 'look' - Just A Mishmash Of Everything That Somehow, By Instinct, Usually Turns Out To Be A Warm Imaginative, 'living Room'.
